GOD'S JUDGMENTS ARE SWIFT AND SURE. National Sin* Are FunUhed by Keen Instrument* — No Calamity Happen* by Chance, but la Directed by Divine Wladotu. (Copyright, 1900, by Ijouls Kiopsch.) Dr. Talmage, In his journey west ward, through Europe, has recently visited scenes of thrilling historic events. He sends this sermon, in which he shows that nations are Judg ed in this world and that God re wards them for their virtues and pun ishes them for their crimes. The text is Isaiah vii, 20, "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." The Bible is the bolde. t book ever written. There are no simiitudes in Osslan of the Iliad or the Odyssey so daring. Its imagery sometimes seems on the verge of the reckless, but only seems so. The fact is that God w’oiud startle and arouse and propel men and nations. A tame and limping simll tude would fail to accomplish the ob ject. While there are times when he employs in the Bible the gentle dew and the morning cloud and the dove j and the daybreak in the preaen'.at on | of truth, we often find the iron chariot, the lightning, the earthquake, the spray, the sword, and, in my text, the ' razor. This keen-bladed instrument 1 has advanced in usefulness with the ages. In Bible times and lands the beard remained uncut save in the saa sons of mourning and humiliation, but the razor was always a suggestive ! e umKaI Tin vrl d an 1,1 ci # T lr.n cr h iu an. tagonlgt, "Thy tongue la a sharp ra- j zor working deceitfully"—that is, It pretends to clear the face, but is really used for deadly incision. In this striking text this weapon of the toilet appears, under the followin’ circumstances: Judea needed to have some of its properties cut off, and Gol j sends against It three Assyrian k ngs —first Sennacherib, then Earhad.'.on and afterward Nebuchadnezzar. Thesj 1 three sharp invasions that cut down [ the glory of Judea are compared to so many sweeps of the razor across the face of the land. And these devasta- ) tions were called a hired razor because God took the kings of Assyria, w.th whom he had no sympathy, to do the ! work and paid them in palaces and spoils and annexations. These sing; were hired to execute the divine be hests. And now the text, which on its first reading may have seemed trivial or inapt, is charged with momentous import, "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor tiiat is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria.” IUr,om of Well, if God s judgments are razors, we had better be careful how we use them on other people. In careful sheath these domestic weapons are put away where no one by accident may touch them, and where the hands of children may not reach them. Such instruments must be carefully handled or not bandied at all. But how reck lessly some people wield the judg- I ments or God! It a man meets with business misfortune, how many there ! are ready to cry out: “That is a judg | ment of God upon him because he was | unscrupulous or arrogant or over | reaching or miserly. I thought he ! would get cut down. What a clean sweep of everything! His city house and country house gone. His stables emptied of all the fine bays and sorrels and grays that used to prance by his door. All his resources overthrown and all that he prided himself on tumbled Into demolition. Good for him!'' Stop, my brother. Don't sling around so freely the Judgments of God, for they are razors. Some of the most wicked hus'ness men succeed, and they live and die in prosperity, and some of the most hon est and conscientious are driven into bankruptcy, l’erbaps the unsuccessful man's manner was unfortunate, a: d he was not really as proud as he lock ed to be. Some of those who carry their heads erect and look imperial are : humble as a child, while many a m: n in seedy coat and slouch hat and un blacked shoes Is as proud as Lucifer, You cannot tell by a man's look. I’, r lutps he was not unscrupulous in busl I ness, for there are two sides to every story, and everybody that accomplish aft anything for himself or others g> ts industriously lied about.

They begin by soft expressions of sympathy and pity and half praise and lather the victim all over before they put on the sharp edge. Mti'lct of Kind Word*. Let us be careful bow we shoot at others lest wo take down the wrong one, remembering the servant of King William Rufus, who shot at a deer, but the arrow glanced at a tree and killed the king. Instead of going out with shafts to pierce and razors to cut we had better imitate the friend of Richard Coeur de Lion. Richard, in the war of the Crusades, was captured and imprisoned, but none of his friends knew where, so his loyal frien t went around the land from stronghold to stronghold and sang at each win- j dow a snatch of Rong that Richard j Coeur de Lion had taught him in other days. And one day, coming before a Jail where he suspected his king | might be incarcerated, he sang two i lines of song, and Immediately K ng Richard responded from his cell w,th j the other two lines, and so his where abouts were discovered, and a success- ! ful movement was at once made for his liberation. So let us go up and , down the world with the music of kind words and sympathetic hearts, sere- ! nadlng the unfortunate, and trying to get out of trouble men who had noble natures, but by unforeseen clreum- I stanees have been incarcerated, thus liberating kings. More hymnbook and less razor. Nothing Kmr "Happen*." Again, when 1 read in my text that the Lord shaves with the hired razor of Assyria the land of Julea I think myself of the precision of God’s provi dence. A razor swung the tenth part of an inch out of the right line means either failure or laceration, but God's dealings never slip, and they do not miss by the thousandth part of an inch the right direction. People talk as though things in this world were at loose ends. Cholera sweeps acres i Marseilles and Madrid and Palermo, and we wateh anxiously. Will the epi demic sweep Europe and America? People say, "That will entirely depend on whether the inoculation Is a suc cessful experiment; that will depend entirely on quarantine regulations; that will depend on the early or lat" appearance of frost. That epidemic is pitched into the world, and it goei blundering across the continents, and it is all guess-work and an appalling "perhaps." I think, perhaps, that God had something to do with It and that his mercy may have in some way pro tected us; that he may have done aB much for us as the quarantine and the health officers. It was right and a ne cessity that all caution should be used, but there have come enough macaroni from Italy, and enough grapes from the south of France, and enough rags from tatterdemalions, and hidden in these articles of transportation enough cholera germs to have left by this time all the cities mourning in the ceme teries. I thank all the doctors and quarantines, but more than all, and first of all, and last of all, and all the time, I thank God. in all the 0,000 ■ years of the world’s existence there has not one thing merely “happened so.” God is not an anarchist, but a King, a Father. National Minn rut)Ulie<l. Further, my text tells us that Go I sometimes shaves nations. "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired." With one sharp sweep he went across Judea, and down went its pride and power. In 1861 God shaved the American nation. We had allowed to grow Sabbath desecration and oppression and blasphemy and fraud and impurity and all sorts of turpitide. The south had Its sins, and the north its sins, and the east its sins, and the west Its sins. We had been warned again and again, and we did not heed. At length the word of war cut from the St. Lawrence tv the gulf and from the Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard. The pride of the land, not the cowards, but the heroes, on both sides went down. And that which we took for the sword of war was the land's razor, in 1862 again it went across the land; in 1863 again; In 1864 again. Then the sharp instru ment was incased and put away. Never In the history of the ages was any laud more thoroughly shaved tl/f.n during those four years of civil combat, und, my brethren. If we do not <|iiit some of our Individual and national sins the laird will again take u* In hand. He has other razors with in reach besides war—epidemic*, droughts, deluges, plagues grasshop per and locust—or our overtowering success may «o far ex-lte the jealousy of other lands that under some pre text the gnat nations may combine to put us down. Our nation, so eazlly np pma* hed on north and south and from both oceana, might have on hand at once more hostilities than were ever array* 1 against any one power. I hope no such i un hi nation against us will ever be for mud, but 1 want to show that, as Assyria was the hired ' against Jud* * and Cyrus tbt tn 'I razor against itabylon, and ths Until* the hired razor against the Goths, there are now manv razors that the laird could hire If, bei auae of our national sins, he should undertake to shave us In lllu t)*inizzy was the tazor with whivh the laird shaved France Japan waa the razor with * ■ H he shaved China and A'nefh a the mof with wht- h he shaved arro gant oppressive aa I Mlhle haling - ■ I • *. »•,..**« •».« 1 • r. ..4 ,,t It a la* V«y a speedy and worl latte tNMWtng lo »i«d hinder on both si-lea the sea ail national vahsmily It it dw n«d let u as a nation either by un righteous law at Washington or bad U»»a among outsell** defy the AP ! mighty Hrrailth of lM»ln- Lot#, King Henry II. of England crowned bis son as king and on the day of coronation put on a servant’s garb, and waited, he, the king, at the son’s talde, to the astonishment of ail the princes.

Extol that love, all painting, all sculp ture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Dresdeniaa gallery let Raphael hold him up as a child, and in Antwerp cathedral let Rubens hand him down from the cross as a martyr, and Handel make all his oratorio vi brate around that one chord—“He was wounded for our transgressions, bruis ed for our iniquities.’’ But not until all the redeemed get home, and from tho countenances in ail the galleries of the ransomed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption, shall either man or seraph or archangel know the height and depth and length and breadth of the love of God. At our national capital a monument In honor of him who did more than any one to achieve our American inde pendence was for scores of years In building, and most of us were dis couraged and said It would never he completed. And how glad we all were when in the presence of the highest officials of the nation the work was done! But will the monument to him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? For ages the work has been going up. Evangelists and apostles and martyrs have been adding to the heavenly pile, and every one of the millions of re deemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of gladness, and weight of glory Is swung to the top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the centuries go by, higher and higher as the whole millenniums roll, sapphire on the top of Jasper, sar donyx on the top of chalcedony an.l (hrysoprosus above topaz, until far be neath shall be the walls und towers and domes of our earthly capitol, a monument forever and forever, rising and yet never done, "Unto him who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and made us kings and priests forever.” Alleluia, amen. MASSACRES ALTER HISTORY. A**a«*luutli>iui Have ('hanged Heroril* of the World. Massacres have profoundly affected the history of the United States, aside from the way in which it was affected, by the influx of Huguenots as a conse quence of the St. Bartholomew and kindred crimes in France. The mur ders of the French protestants, under Ribault, iu Florida, by the Spaniard Menendez in 15G5, sent the French to Canada instead of to the South Atlan tic coast of the present United States, gave the latter to Spain, and thua made Florida far easier to win by the United States after this country's in dependence was gained. Devastation along the northern border of New England by the French and Indians in the various Intercolonial 'wars, which ended with 1763, Incited the resistance on the part of England aid its depen dencies which drove Fvance out of Canada and the Mississippi Valley In that year and hastened the revolution, which, a dozen years later, expelled England from the thirteen colonies, says i/oslle's Weekly. Onslaughts on the French in Santo Domingo by the negroes In 1S01 and 1802, that Island being then a French colony, prevent ed Bonaparte from sending an army to take possession of New Orleans, which had been retroceded to France by Spain, and was one of the causes of the cession of Louisiana by France to the United Statea iu 1803. which was the first and greatest expansion ever made in this country, and which made all subsequent expansions—Florida, Texas, Oregon, California. New Mexi co, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines—inevitable.

"The above plan may he adopted either for single class or entire school. If a General Exercise Is desired, conduct the review as follows: Select the twelve scholars who have shown most Interest In this work; assign one lesson to each, and have each prepared to make a brief statement of that lesson.

We look at the life of Christ from an other point of view, and It gains reality and vividness If we trace out the move ments of Jesus upon the map. Like the Greek scholar in Tom Brown at Oxford, who traced on a map by means of colored pins the famous retreat of the ten thou sand under Xenophon, we may trace In the same way the Journeys of Jesus re ferred to tn the lessons for this quarter. At each place we may call for a brief de scription of the town, and for the chief events which cluster around It. hut es pecially those connected with the life of Christ. If we have a large map we may use pins with llyers on them marking the name of each place as we come to it. Alliance of Marriageable flirle.

The meth od of looking into the character of a young man is simple. The society J holds one of Its stated meetings, and each young woman who has a swain of whom she is at all doubtful gives his name and as many particulars as she deems desirable to the club. All is held in strict secrecy. A committee is appointed from among those pres ent. and then there commences an in vestigation.
